Delay Discounting, Locus of Control, and Cognitive Impulsiveness Independently Predict Tobacco Dependence Treatment Outcomes in a Highly Dependent, Lower Socioeconomic Group of Smokers
Tập 21 Số 3 - Trang 221-232 - 2012
Tobacco use disproportionately affects lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups.
Current explanations as to why lower SES groups respond less robustly to tobacco

might help to clarify these differences. Good candidates for novel prognostic
f...

one of the least studied or discussed groups of abused substances. This review
focuses on the current knowledge of the epidemiology, pharmacology, and sequela
of inhalant abuse. We will discuss three groups of inhalants: volatile solvents,
nitrous oxide, and nitrites. We will then conclude by proposing means by which

geriatric substance abuse program, the authors examined patients'responses on a
modified version ...

Inpatient Desire to Drink as a Predictor of Relapse to Alcohol Use Following Treatment
Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang 242-245 - 2006
Cravings for alcohol are identified as a trigger for relapse, though laboratory
studies of cravings produce mixed results in predicting relapse. The objective
of this analysis is to assess the usefulness of craving as a predictor of
relapse by assessing 218 adult, alcohol‐dependent patients admitted to two
separate residential addiction treatment programs. Days craving reported in the
week prior t...
